Yorkshire's Gregory Wright is £40,000 richer having won the 2013/14 Telegraph
Fantasy Football league by a solitary point.

Cech-mate: Chelsea's Petr Cech (£3.9m) was the top-scoring goalkeeper in TFF and the only player to survive the whole season in our Champion's XI.

It was too close to call throughout the Premier League season and it was no different in Telegraph Fantasy Football. Yorkshire's Gregory Wright came from behind during the final match of the season to pip Andy Moores by just a single point thanks to Aaron Ramsey's extra time winner at Wembley last weekend.

Gregory's in the middle of buying a hose so the £40,000 first prize will definitely come in handy after what was, for him at least, a traumatic FA Cup Final.

"It couldn't have started any worse for me really," explained Gregory. "I actually lost points within the first 10 minutes and and so to say I was disheartened at half time would be an understatement. Until Koscienly equalised I never believed I had the slightest chance, then obviously I'm just hoping for another goal from one of my players in extra time. Ozil getting substituted didn't help but then, just as I'm bemoaning my luck, up pops Ramsey with the winner, cue a few yells and some manic fist pumps."

Looking at Gregory's team, the three big stars were clearly Luis Suarez (290 points), Olivier Giroud (214) and Eden Hazard (160). But there were solid contributions all round, particularly from the Everton trio of Barkley (95), Coleman (85) and Lukaku (89).

Goalkeeper Petr Cech was the only player not to be transferred from the original starting XI at any point which lined up as follow (3-5-2): Cech, Gibbs, Rat, Luna, Hazard, Walcott, Silva, Coutinho, Adam, van Persie, Giroud.

By the end of the season, Gregory had used:

1 x goalkeeper

9 x defenders

14 x midfielders

9 x strikers

Looking ahead to the World Cup and Gregory is up for another crack at Telegraph Fantasy Football glory. He's picked a team already and is happy to offer a few words of wisdom.

"The best advice I could give is do as much research as you possibly can and don't waste too many transfers early doors, you can always make up any points deficit later on with sound judgement."

So that's how it's done. Sign up for Telegraph Fantasy Football now, there's £20,000 up for grabs.
